Imagination needed again, no bench press, pullups etc. for next couple of weeks. There was blood vessel bleeding on left eyes retina and it need to recover without too much pressure. Doctor said that it would be ok to do one hand training. Back should be better after year recovery, maybe it would stand some lightweight KB training:

KB one arm shoulder press:2x10 @ ~17kg

KB clean & press (every rep from floor):3x15 @ ~17kg1+3 @ ~27kg

Cable pushdown (machine shows too much weight):3x10 @ 60 kg

DB bent over row:4x6 @ 45 kg (grip problems with last sets, especially with left hand)

DB hammer curl:3x10 @ 18 kg

After training I wondered why my legs are so sore. When calculating those reps with both hands it makes 98 reps for legs. Not much weight, but still quite good effort when trying to do reps fast.

Yes and no Hurts everywhere, but still feels great! Well, there was only 1.5 week total rest, but I haven't done those KB things for long time (over year or something) and same with clean & press overall, so that's why muscles are so sore. Different kind of stress for muscles than e.g slow belt squat and bench pressing.

[quote="JP"]Good to finally meet you on saturday! Was a great day out!

I'll second that! Thank's again for good show! Hope that we can offer our cheerleading also for Patrik.

[quote="Lordmuppet"]stay strong brother ... I have you in my sights on the table! (we are 1kg apart)

edited to say: hope your eye heals up well

Thank's for reminding me to update the table, we're 11 kg apart after updating But you have good chance to beat me soon, I still can't do any DL/ front squat because of back injury. Maybe I could squat some day, but DL... I don't know about that.

Eye will heal in couple of weeks when blood will shag off from retina's surface, just a regular "bench pressing eye injury". And it's not that bad, there's only blurred spot, otherwise I can see quite well. I think I could start easy bench pressing (with concentrating on breathing) on this week.

I took this easy because according to doctor I still shouldn't do it all. But I think that if I stay way from max reps etc, shouldn't be any problems. Ok, it didn't feel so easy, I tried to concentrate to breathing and that messed it a bit.

[quote="xJimx"]Using wraps on the belt squat is a sweet idea! How much extra weight do the wraps allow you to handle do you think?

Hard to tell Feels that there are quite many factors that are affecting to weights. Problem is that my knees are hurting sometimes when getting over about 80-90 kg. I don't want to try any PB's without wraps to make more comparable study with this issue . I think it could be few kg's, not very much with my short wraps.
